Changes to WWII Acts Passed Despite Opposition from SDS

Ljubljana, 8 September - Deputies also took on on Tuesday government-sponsored bills on war victims and war graves. The expected protracted debate however failed to materialise, with the opposition Democrats (SDS) deciding to boycott the discussion. Rejecting the SDS's view that the bills were discriminatory to victims of the Partisans, the coalition passed both bills.
